It’s LGBTQ+ Health Awareness Week, and we’re thankful for the has been a consistent resource for especially the LGBTQ+ youth especially. These are helpful ways to support LGBTQ+ youth through their healthcare challenges:
“LGBTQ+ young people deserve access to the care they need to stay healthy, full stop.
But for many LGBTQ+ youth, navigating health care means wondering: Will this provider respect my identity? Will they believe me? Will this space actually support my well-being? Am I safe?
Our research shows that LGBTQ+ young people who have access to supportive environments, including LGBTQ-competent health care, report significantly better mental health outcomes.
LGBTQ+ health care saves lives. Support changes outcomes.
This LGBTQ+ Health Awareness Week, we’re sharing tools that help young people and their supporters navigate health care safely and successfully.”
